Graduation Invitations

These cards do real work for the price. They print full color on heavy stocks, they arrive with matching envelopes so you can mail them the same week, and you build the whole thing to spec without a designer. Want to see how graduation invitations sit next to the rest of the range? Browse every style on invitation printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 25 starts at $19.77, and the per-card cost keeps sliding as the count climbs toward 100,000, so a full class or a district pays far less per card than a small family batch. Tap any tier below to see the live set total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.

What Are Graduation Invitations?

Graduation invitations are flat announcement cards printed full color in 3 sizes, from a 4.25" x 5.5" card up to a 6" x 6" square, on any of 20 stocks. Each one names the graduate, the school, and the date, time and place of the ceremony or party, and it ships with matching white wove envelopes so it is ready to address and mail. Families send them for commencements, pinnings, graduation parties, and open houses. If you want a card that opens instead of a flat one, the Folded Invitations give you inside panels, and the flat graduation invitation sits right beside them as the classic mailer.

What Size Should a Graduation Invitation Be?

The right size comes down to how much you need to say and how you plan to send it. The 4.25" x 5.5" card is the default, compact enough for a standard envelope and easy to hand out at scale. The 5" x 7" is the classic announcement shape, with room for a full photo and a proper line of details. The 6" x 6" square reads bold and modern, standing out in a stack of mail or propping up on a party table, and you can order a custom size up to 6" x 7" when you need something in between. All 3 sizes, both finishes and the full stock list are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. For a coordinated announcement, the Save the Date Cards use the same sizes and stocks.

Here are a few easy ways to make a graduation invitation feel like the occasion.

Pick a stock that feels like a keepsake

The stock decides how the card feels in a hand. A metallic pearl in gold, silver or champagne catches light like foil, the 14pt and 18pt linen add a woven texture, and the 24pt ultra thick gloss gives the card real heft. Prefer a natural look you can write on? The uncoated, cream and 18pt kraft covers do that, including recycled stocks at 30 and 100 percent post-consumer waste. A High Gloss UV Coating makes a photo or a school color snap.

Add the matching envelopes

Announcements get mailed, so add matching white wove blank envelopes right in the configurator. Your invitations arrive ready to address and send, with no second trip to hunt for the right size. Turn on rounded corners at a 1/8" or 3/8" radius if you want a softer, modern edge that also resists dog-ears in the mail.

Design it without a designer

You do not need a design background to make a graduation invitation look sharp. Start from one of thousands of free, professionally built layouts in our design templates, then change the colors, copy and photo in the online editor in minutes. Swap in the school colors and a cap-and-gown shot and the card is done.

How Much Do Graduation Invitations Cost?

Graduation invitations start at $19.77 per set of 25, and the per-card price keeps dropping across 41 tiers as the quantity climbs toward 100,000, so a cheap invitation really comes down to how big a run you order. A set of 700 runs $106.55 and 6,000 runs $238.14, which brings the per-card cost from about 79 cents down near 4 cents. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-card cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.

Do Graduation Invitations Come With Envelopes?

Yes. Matching white wove blank envelopes are an option in the configurator, so the card and its envelope ship together and you can address and mail them the same day they arrive. Beyond envelopes, you can add rounded corners at a 1/8" or 3/8" radius, and you choose how you proof: a free online proof to review your layout on screen, a next-day hardcopy proof to check the real stock and color in your hands, or straight to production when you already trust your file. Upload a print-ready PDF, JPG or PNG and you are set.

How Do Graduation Invitations Compare to the Rest of the Range?

Graduation invitations are the classic flat mailer, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a card that opens, a coordinated save-the-date, or a plainer invitation card, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up graduation invitations against their closest siblings in the invitation lineup so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

How Fast Can You Get Graduation Invitations?

Graduation invitations print on a 3 business day standard turnaround, and when a ceremony date sneaks up you can move that to 2-day, Next-Day or even Same-Day production. Each step buys back time for a set amount on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Order a same-day job by the cutoff and it ships that afternoon from the NYC plant, and 99.8% of 4OVER4 orders land on time with 82% shipping early. Compare every turnaround tier and see exactly what the rush adds before you pick.
